Rankings from AP Poll

20th ranked Wofford defeated UNC Greensboro 70–58 in the championship game to win the tournament, and received the conference's automatic bid to the 2019 NCAA tournament. Wofford's perfect season in the SoCon, (perfect regular season, and winning the conference tournament) was the first since the Stephen Curry led Davidson Wildcats accomplished the feat in the 2007–08 season.
